Antoni Bosch Editor, S.A. ABCdari il·lustrat
Book SynopsisSi el alfabeto es ideolÓgicamente neutro, no lo es un abecedario ilustrado: de entrada la elecciÓn de las palabras ya delata unas afinidades y rechazos, mientras que los dibujos, que tendrÁn que funcionar como una definiciÓn grÁfica de la palabra, afirmarÁn unos aspectos de su campo semÁntico y negarÁn otros. El resultado, una especie de diccionario finamente irÓnico, poÉtico y provocativo, descriptivo y mordaz, no serÁ mÁs que el reflejo de una concepciÓn del mundo. If the alphabet is ideologically neutral, an illustrated alphabet is not: from the outset the choice of words already reveals affinities and rejections, while the drawings, which will have to function as a graphic definition of the word, will affirm some aspects of its semantic field and deny others. The result, a kind of finely ironic, poetic and provocative, descriptive and scathing dictionary, will be nothing more than a reflection of a conception of the world.

Hoaki Optimum Type: Custom Typography Design and
Book SynopsisThis book features examples of different types of custom-designed lettering - from digital typefaces to printed matter and handwriting - and their practical applications. When we read, our brain is decoding a series of abstract symbols and synthesising the results into complex ideas. Really, then, we see before we read. We recognise the character of a word before we ascertain its meaning. A tailor-made creative type takes advantage of this effect to visualise a specific brand, deliver its image and message and make it stand out among the crowd. To create an optimum type, a designer must understand the brand's philosophy, communicate with the client, feel with his empathy, and achieve a perfect solution with his professional skills. This publication features over a hundred custom types created by designers and agencies within diverse cultural contexts. Readers of this book will learn lessons from these creatives' work processes and be inspired to design types that satisfy their clients and wow their viewers.

BIS Publishers B.V. LOIS Logos: How to Brand with Big Idea Logos
Book SynopsisGeorge Lois is an American icon in graphic design. This book showcases his logos with his own comments on why they work. A bonus in the book is a chapter of world logos made by others with George Lois’s comments on why they are so good. George Lois continues to prove that a memorable brand name interacting with a strong visual symbol to communicate a humanistic idea is the ultimate art form in popular graphic communication. His Big Idea branding and logo design, developed with a built-in, conceptual, “catchy” brand name, can visually impart information in a nanosecond, delivering a specific ethos with a penetrating promise of power that immediately sears a product’s virtues into a viewers’ brain—and has the potential of bringing instantaneous success. Lois boldly states, “My goal, with the vast majority of the brands I have named and logos I have designed, is to create ‘humanistic’ symbols, driven by a pregnant idea, visualizing some recognizable aspect of the human experience, and magically relating it to a unique selling proposition that empowers great advertising and promotion.” If anyone wants to experience the creation of Big Idea Branding, this astounding compilation of the work of George Lois is the ultimate form of clear, precise, eye-popping communication.

BIS Publishers B.V. Don’t Read this Book: Time Management for
Book SynopsisAs creative people, we have ideas. Some of us have many ideas, others have really good ones, and most of us have many really good ideas. But most of these never see the light of day. Why? If you ask a creative person, the answer will always revolve around time. We simply need time to execute an idea (and do it well)—more time than we have. Don’t Read This Book focuses on how to make choices about everything you do in your daily creative practice and life. The book follows the ‘To Don’t List’ method: When you say ‘no’ to one idea, you have more time to execute another one. In short: the more you subtract, the more focus and time you get. The book is divided into three parts: Life, Workplace, and Projects. It covers everything from defining your life goals, to writing a five sentence-long email, to leaving out as much as possible in a project. Whether you are a student or professional, this book will save you time. (Of course, if you don’t read it, you will save some time directly.)

BIS Publishers B.V. Free your Mind Postcard Block
Book SynopsisWhen times are particularly difficult, and you are likely to slip into despair, some of the greatest pop songs can provide true comfort to make it through the pain.

Victionary HANDSTYLE LETTERING: 20th Anniversary Boxset
Book SynopsisFor some time in the distant past, hand-lettering used to be a highly-regarded skill to master and was ubiquitous via publications and public signages.

Victionary Hanzi•Kanji•Hanja 2: Graphic Design with
Book SynopsisThe age of the internet and media have brought about a growing interest in Asian culture and its various languages across the region. Han characters in particular, which are applied in Chinese, Japanese and Korean contexts respectively as three branches of the same written system, are becoming more than text-based communication devices. Due to the structure of the characters themselves, they are being utilised as flexible design elements that bring abstract visual concepts to life in breaking the barriers between the East and the West.As a follow-up to the original release in 2015, Hanzi•Kanji•Hanja 2 focuses more on the former (i.e. Hanzi) through over 100 projects that give the ancient type form a fresh and modern facelift. Like its predecessor, the book comprises logotypes and their applications to offer readers a closer insight into the art of the strokes; as well as a showcase of brand identities, posters, packaging, advertisements and the like – expanded further with case studies and interviews to serve as an inspiring reference point for designers of all cultures.
